A convicted drug dealer whose prison sentence was commuted by Joe Biden, probably by autopen, is back behind bars—this time facing serious drug and firearms charges.
Willie Frank Peterson, 52, was originally convicted of conspiracy to distribute cocaine in 2023 and sentenced to over six years in prison. However, in a radical push to release criminals back into society, Biden commuted Peterson’s sentence to just 20 months in January, allowing him to walk free.
Now, less than two months after his release, Peterson has proven once again that the left’s so-called “criminal justice reform” is nothing more than a disaster waiting to happen.
On Monday, Peterson was arrested in Dothan, Alabama, and charged with two counts of unlawful possession of a controlled substance, one count of possession of marijuana, possession of drug paraphernalia, and three firearms-related offenses, according to police records per Fox News.
According to Latin Times, Peterson was taken into custody at his home, where police reportedly found illegal substances and weapons. Peterson has since posted bond, and his new charges will be handled in Houston County court.
The man Biden deemed worthy of release is now proving why he belonged behind bars in the first place.
And Peterson isn’t the only one.
Another recipient of Biden’s mass clemency, 30-year-old Texas native Dequan Willard, also wasted no time in proving his criminal tendencies.
The Gateway Pundit reported that Dequan Willard, a 30-year-old Texas man, was granted clemency by President Joe Biden on January 17 as part of a sweeping mass release that included 2,490 federal inmates.
But it didn’t take long for the so-called “nonviolent offender” to show his true colors.
Just seven days later, Willard was arrested again for allegedly violating the conditions of his supervised release, according to Law and Crime.
Federal prosecutors in the Northern District of Texas revealed that during a visit with probation officers, Willard tried to cheat a drug test using a bag of diluted coffee—a desperate attempt to cover up drug use.
Even worse, prosecutors say Willard admitted to using K2, a synthetic marijuana, while in prison, which means Biden freed a criminal who was already violating prison rules.
“I look at this in the sense that we’ve had dedicated men and women in law enforcement who are putting it all on the line,” Lubbock County Sheriff Kelly Rowe told NBC affiliate KCBD.
“We’re talking about dangerous offenders where their activities in the course of investigation are very high risk. The point of arrest, very high risk. And to see all of that work basically washed away, all of that risk washed away because of a political decision made in Washington, D.C., only serves to make me angry about it.”
“I mean, if you want to let some of the worst of the worst back out on the street, say it for what it is,” he added.
In another interview with Lubbock Lights, Rowe said, “The bottom line is this guy is no saint. We know, as a law enforcement organization, this is a bad cat. He should never have been cut loose – like most of them.”
